Im a person that left school at 15yrs of age worked on my Dads Farm.
Then dairy industry driving milk tankers. Then got into Engineering doing Oil + Gas Industry.
Did the OE travel 2yrs
So used to hard work when needed.
My basic focus if elected will be back to basic needs for the rate payers money and Community needs like Water, Sewerage Footpaths and roads. The must first plus basic Facilities.
Then the niceties if we have spare money to do them.
I love New Plymouth and our province and want to keep it this way.
I am a fighter I know when to say No instead of the word Yes.
Which is used to much today.
I will listen to people around the council table put also the community and ratepayers and business people of this City. That pay my earning from the Council Rates.
Yes
What?
The Len Lye Museum. Bell Block to Waitara Walkway . Cycle Ways Community Sports Hub.
Yes
What?
Yes get the 0il & Gas back on stream to get our province back to where it used to be.Great for employment and our province as a whole .We had the highest GDP per capita in New Zealand years ago lets get it back to that and be proud of it.
Yes
Why?
We are trying our best to accommodate them to the new YMCA complex at present lets hope that will keep them away from the business areas of town not intimidating people on our streets .
Yes
Why?
We must keep control of our own water rights here in New Plymouth we have the built the infrastructure we as rate payers have paid for them so must keep them ,Not to be taken over by Local Government hands a BIG NO.
No
Why?
We are doing OK the way we have done it for years in this province we are polluters as I can see it.So why waste money where it's not needed to be wasted as ratepayers and the community as a whole.
No
Why?
No not at this present time maybe in 5-10 years down the track when our rates are back down to a affordable level for us all . This is not priority right now .
No
Why?
These are hazard for all people that use them .People hitting them with their car tyres putting their alignments out at a big cost to them to get repaired Hopefully with the new elected Council they will be removed before someone gets killed.
Decline to answer
Why?
I will vote on this on the day this is individuals private information.
I think we do a fairly good job the way we are doing it right now .
Stop building more cycle lanes what we had before worked fine. Keeping our rates down to a affordable level.So we can all afford to keep our houses and homes before been forced to sell them this is not on.
